Dedicated to thrill-seekers and adrenaline junkies (you know who you are), the new Breitling Colt Skyracer, the newest generation of the now-iconic Colt series, features an avant-garde case in black Breitlight, ensuring it’s as suited to the office as it is to the trail.
Named for MXS-R “Skyracer”, the high-performance plane flown by aerobatics rising star Mika Brageot in the Red Bull Air Race World Championship, the new rendition of the Colt maintains its military-inspired lines but with the addition of state-of-the-art technical assets.

A 45-mm case made from Breitlight, a material 3.3 times lighter than titanium and 5.8 times lighter than steel, yet significantly harder, encases a Breitling Caliber 74 thermos-compensated SuperQuartz movement, which promises to be ten times more accurate than standard quartz, and is chronometer-certified by the COSC (Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute).
A champion of legibility, the Skyracer’s dial features white luminescent hands and indications against a jet-black background, as well as red accents reminiscent of aircraft instrument panels, all of which is protected by sapphire crystal glare-proofed glass on all sides.
